You can currently find it on Amazon, available in both print and eBook format.

I hope you will check it out and grab a copy.

I’m very proud of the book and the twists and turns in it. It is truly very unique. I always like to think of it as the kind of book that I sometimes come across at a library that I have no idea what it is about, and it surprises me on every page. 

(Hey, by the way, if you are following my blog and my The Art of Being Alone novella, I know I have been lazy about putting up the latest post. It is done, it is just life is very busy right now. In other words- 2020.)
